Outdoor Museum Gassho-zukuri Minkaen

Gassho-zukuri Minkaen is an open-air museum that recreates the old lifestyle by moving abandoned gassho-zukuri houses and rebuilding them into an open-air museum.

There are many buildings that are actually used, such as warehouses and temples, as well as common houses in the neighborhood. There are a variety of things to see and do, including local handicraft skill demonstrations and experiences, restaurants, and souvenir shops.

An old house well preserved without nails

Shirakawago Ogimachi is a place where gassho-zukuri style houses remain, and its name means ‘shape of praying hands’.

Although this house was built without using nails, the structure was built so solidly due to its special architectural style that it has been well preserved without collapsing from the 1800s to the present.

Houses used for various purposes

Gassho-zukuri houses in Shirakawa-go are used as museums. Inside the museum, there are exhibits covering Shirakawa-go's history, architectural style, characteristics, and major industries.

There is also a house that has been converted into a guesthouse and is being provided as accommodation!
